Pig and Prince, a Montclair favorite, is shutting its doors this weekend

Pig and Prince, the American eatery that operates out of the former train station at Lackawanna Plaza in Montclair, will serve its last meal Saturday, the restaurant announced.

“It is with great sadness that we must announce Pig and Prince will be closing it’s doors after service on Saturday, June 8th,” the restaurant said in a Facebook post.

After opening in 2012, the restaurant and its head chef made it onto various “best of” lists.

“Opening this space has been a breathless dream ride for Michael Carrino, who traded the gentle pace and elegance of Restaurant Passionne for the energy of a lively gastro-pub,” NJ Advance Media wrote in 2013. “Occasionally, one of Carrino’s spinning plates crashes to the floor, but Pig and Prince is a modern culinary spectacle worth attending."

Right after its opening, The New York Times called it “a sensational space,” saying while the service was spotty at first, the food was “intriguing.”

“With a menu this rewarding and a room this elegant and stylish, it’s all about the details. Here’s hoping Pig and Prince can iron them out,” the Times said.

The Pig and Prince Facebook post didn’t address the reason for its closing, but said they wanted to thank everyone who supported them along the way. “We hope to see you here at this historic landmark one last time before we say good bye,” the post said.
